Newly installed Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Design Premium

The MPH administration loves us! CS3 Premium was recently installed in the 126 RB Lab on computer #4. This is a potentially powerful tool for public health professionals. If you have questions on how to use it, try the online help, visit the multimedia lab in the Lee Library, or for examples of potential applications ask Lisa Schiffman about her Family Health History Toolkit.

Adobe® Creative Suite® 3.3 Design Premium combines Adobe Bridge CS3, Adobe Version Cue® CS3, Adobe Device Central CS3, and Adobe Acrobat® Connect™ with full new versions of the following components:

* Adobe InDesign® CS3
* Adobe Photoshop® CS3 Extended
* Adobe Illustrator® CS3

* Adobe Flash® CS3 Professional
* Adobe Dreamweaver® CS3
* Adobe Acrobat 9
* Plus Adobe Fireworks® CS3

Here is what past MPH students had to say about Adobe CS3:

Grant Sunada

I believe that InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat would greatly expand our skills, effectiveness, and marketability as public health professionals -- specifically when it comes to social marketing, health promotion, health advocacy, and other aspects of health communication. It will also help us more effectively frame the issues we address.

Lisa Schiffman

You already know that I am a fan of adobe products, that is why I splurged and bought them. I mainly used InDesign and Photoshop and adobe professional for pdf files. I'm not that familiar with the other programs, but maybe I would be if I knew how to use them. I'm an advocate for access to Adobe products. They are very useful if you know how to use them.

Lisa Morris

Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator would have been good for our social math assignment. I would love to know how to use Adobe Dreamweaver. This could have been used with our project in Mike's class.

Erin Johnson

I think I would have used Indesign and Photoshop if we had had it.

Jun Yanagishita

So you want to know how helpful Adobe is? The following are what I've seen in job qualifications: Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

Marin Poole

Learning the Adobe Suite during class projects would provide an excellent skill to take to the job force. I know that photoshop would be valuable many times in laying out information pages and within presentations. It would also be useful in developing social math posters during Mike Barnes' class.

Heather Sanders

Yes, I think it would be really helpful. The InDesign training we went to was really helpful.
